Our Grandma is better than your Grandma.

I have a fun hangover today. A bad one.

All of the sunshine, parades, barbecues, boat rides, late night card games, outdoor movies, and fireworks left me in a world of hurt when I awoke to the harsh realities of facing the real world today. I only wish you could see my hair as a result of my dragging myself out of bed 15 minutes before I was supposed to be at work, and the wrinkled shirt I have on that I yanked out of my luggage whilst half asleep. I am disheveled. It isn't pretty. I blame the fun.

One of many highlights from the weekend was wearing the dresses our Grandma made for S and I when we went with her to church. They are gorgeous, fit like a glove, and were super affordable to make. Our Grandma is one talented lady, and is the ultimate savvy fashionista since she has made nearly her entire wardrobe by hand.

I love them. And our Grandma. And the 4th of July.
And the ice cold Diet Coke on my desk that I will be nursing this entire day.
Having ridiculous amounts of fun is tiring.

Hope your weekend was wonderful too!

  24. What a fantastic dress. I love how some fashions just never go out of style, and always flatter figures regardless of the season. I'm emailing you right now for the pattern....
